| Jeremy Messersmith – A Girl, A Boy, and a Graveyard Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I do think previous speakers have made correct interpretations regarding the songs' metafors. The only disputable part would (which has been pointed out) be the ending - what solution is Lucy proposing? "Stick with me and I'll stick with you" can suggest both a friendship and some kind of deeper devotion/love relationship. The last passus of the song: "I don't want to spend my time waiting for just another guy" might hint both to her wanting to wait for someone special or not feeling like waiting at all (ergo settling for the guy she has). It does, truely, boil down to the nature of the interpreter and what that particular person is "hoping for". |

| Girls – The Oh So Protective One Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| My quite straightforward interpretation is that the songs female protagonist is seeming this guy that, according to the author, doesn't really deserve her. The main reason for this is proclaimed to be that he doesn't really know anything about her and can't be bothered to find out even though it's probably not that hard (just observing her would be a good start, the first verse really examplifies this). The songwriter furthermore seem to find the man a bad influence on her by making her subconcious about herself. | |
